with cooperative...

Teddy was our mongrel dog who kept coming back to stay,
When my parents gave him up because we had to move away.
Three times my father took him back to live at his new home,
But we'd...

Ma and Pa don't get around a great deal much anymore.
If they pine to cut a rug, they claim their health is mighty poor!

No! Cut this piece here!
No! Not there!
Why didn't you cut it right?

says Princess StepSister's

jonesing for her next pork chop.

I would have finished
but you bellowed me away
in your Ugly StepSister voice
demanding from open refrigerator door

I'll eat the nibble naggle nooky nickel
	nipple nappy mum mum mum
